And the story continues...
The McLennan County Commissioners Court has not implemented saying the Pledge of Allegiance before court. Area media has confused the public with mis-information about the decisions (or lack thereof) about the Pledge. They have to create a "policy" for saying the pledge.... Uhhhhhh okay. We suggest you call County Commissioner Mashek and get the story straight from the source.
Here is this week's episode!
Judge Lewis along with Commissioners Kelly Snell, Joe Mashek, and Ray Meadows all stood up for the Pledge of Allegiance in Commissioners Court on Tuesday, June 29th 2010. Commissioner Lester Gibson did not stand up, citing that he had to have a prayer first (we don't know why he can't pray in his seat like the rest of us, but hey, it's his beliefs and we're just glad he prays). Although, the local paper shows him drinking a cup of coffee as everyone else says the Pledge..... not very respectful if you ask us.

Until the "policy" is in place and the Court is saying the pledge I guess it's up to the citizens of McLennan County to go to the meetings and help them out. No wonder government is so messed up on so many levels, they bind their hands with red tape and bureaucracy!
